Come in and take a look around at our Golden Perch Inn (Innkeeper – Folwren), Scarburg Meadhall (Inkeeper – Nogrod; Assistant Innkeeper - Thinlómien), and the Lamedon Square Market (Facilitators – Formendacil and Feanor of the Peredhil). Decide which one grabs your interest, fits your style of writing and join in – they are good places to get a taste of how RPG’s are played here on the Barrow-Downs. The Meadhall (HERE) and the Golden Perch (HERE) both have discussion threads where you can introduce yourself and build a character using our brief Character Bio Form. The Lamedon Square Market is more freestyle in form, just think of a character you’d like to play and drop in (see Lamedon Square Market Discussion Thread - HERE).

Explore some of the RPG’s already in play and get a taste of how games are played here on the Barrow-Downs. If you see one you’d like to join, put a post on that game’s Discussion Thread asking the Facilitator of the game if it’s possible to play. Many of the games are open to taking on new players. You’ll find the Facilitators and the other game players eager to help you as needed.

Prior to putting your RPG into play, brainstorm your Game outline, recruit Players, and discuss your ideas and concepts with other members.
